Product Description

Good Book Guide
Packed with suspense, this offers a glimpse into the workings of the British police force.

Product Description
The Press called it ?the heist of the Millennium? and ?a plot worthy of James Bond?. The only problem was that the police knew all about it. In 2000, a gang of villains from the South East of England hatched an audacious plan to steal the world?s largest perfect diamond from London?s Millennium Dome and make their getaway by speedboat up the River Thames. Meanwhile, the police were hatching a plan to stop them. This is the story of the plan to pull off an outrageous crime by the detective who foiled the villains? intentions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jan's Review, 28 Oct 2004
By Jan (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
It's always with anticipation that I pick up a new book to read especially in the "real crime" category. "Dome Raiders" is certainly a book that immediately gripped this reader from beginning to end. The book moves along at a fast pace and I couldn't put it down. I had to reminding myself that I was reading about real life events and that it wasn't a fictional action packed adventure. After the media attention back in November 2000 when the Dome robbers and the Flying Squad's exploits became known worldwide, I knew the ending of the story but not the beginning. This book tells all, and it was at times with nail biting suspense that I read the detailed description of the months of hard work and covert operations leading to the eventual capture of the Dome robbers. This suspense was relieved by intermittent interspersions of humour to remind me that these policemen are human beings and not fictional. Even knowing the end of the story in advance I still read the book wondering what on earth was going to happen next. I thoroughly recommend "Dome Raiders" as an entertaining and enlightening read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dome Raiders, 7 Nov 2004
An excellent read and a remarkable story of how Scotland Yard prevented the robbery of the Millennium Star at the Millennium Dome, Greenwich, London. The book's short punchy chapters add to the excitement and drama of the plot itself. The language used is wonderful and allows you to share the mixed emotions of those involved with the case caused by the continuous developments, the frustrations, the breakthroughs as well as the odd bit of luck. Dome Raiders provides a superb chronological account of how this large scale, high profile investigation was skillfully managed, thoroughly planned and executed with the utmost precision. The book also pays testimony to the brilliant results that can be achieved through teamwork.

5.0 out of 5 stars A totally amazing real-life thriller
What a great book! It ranks with the best of Ludlum, le Carre, Clancy and Dan Brown, but with the amazing twist that it is all true. Read more
